TIE TOBACCO CONVENTION.

The S0aNeru Z0bacc0 Journal,
! which has been quite active in its eff
forts to inaugurate the tobacco con-
yention, says on the subject:
Thus far Our efforts to hold a tobqc-
CO convention have been successful be
yond our highest hope. The pre-
limlnary meeting last Saturday had
the true enthusiastic Ting about it and
we believe the hardest part of the work
is accomplished. The committees
appointed are excellent selections, and
consist of men who Will work. The
committee on Transportation and Ac-
commodation will secure the lowest
railroad and hotel rates possible. The
Executive Committee will begin work
at once to get things in shape. Ele-
CANT invitations will be printed and
sent to all the larger tobacco firms in
the United States and Canada.
There are various surmises as to the
number of tobacco men who will be IN
attendance. Each Board of Trade in
the State will be asked to send five
delegateS-and these will make the
number over 100 strong. 1t is be-
l1eved that at least as many Others
from the State will be in attendance.
The visitors from Virginia will likely
amount to SO, and the visiting tobacco
nists from all other parts Of the coun-
try will probably swell the number to
600 or 500. The Executive Commit
tee will leave nothing undone to get
up the proper enthusiasm, and in every
way the outlook for the approaching
convention in August is truly flattering.
1t cannot fail to be the grandest
step the tobacco men Of the South have
ever taken. Here we have business
in its various avenues mill
ions OF dollars and thousands of peo-
pie and yet this trade hitherto has
stood aloof without any organization.
No wonder that hard times have press
ed upon the tobacco trade when its
